“Sibiryak” managed to take revenge for the defeat in the first match, partly due to the fact that Gazprom did not agree to a draw. Before the break, the audience saw only one goal: Ilnur Islamov successfully finished off the ball after the kick of Raphael. Joan could increase the score, who earned a six-meter, and he himself took the punch from the “point”. Temur Alekberov on a foul shot released Artem Shevchenko instead of Zviad Kupatadze and did not lose: the duel ended successfully for the Ugra people.

In the second half, two Ivans exchanged goals: Chishkal fired a powerful shot from a distance, while Kostyanoy from the hosts team was on time at the far post. Then came the turn of Andrey Afanasyev. At first, he turned and hit the top corner in the “pivot” position, and then used the set-pieces, when the Novosibirsk team missed the ball in touch with his penalty. Sergey Ivanov had no choice but to remove the goalkeeper. And Nikolai Plakhov, who put on the jersey of the goalkeeper, restored balance from the very first attempt. Now the Ugra squad tried to play “five by four”, but the risk was not justified. Nikolay Balashov, catching the ball, kicked it through the entire court and sent it into a defenseless net.

Temur Alekberov, head coach of Gazprom-Ugra:
– The dedication, the infusion, the great desire of the opponent and the game in defense turned out to be above our skill. In this situation, responsibility is only on the coach. So the words that were said to the players did not reach. We played in the wrong emotional mood. The opponent today was ready to give everything. We lacked these emotions. And the movement was not enough. I will not blame the players. Football punishes and not always only skill is enough. We deserved the defeat.Ivan Chishkala, player of the Gazprom-Ugra:
– We have not succeeded in everything lately, it is impossible to play futsal at the level we are used to. Many problems that need to be addressed. We are now in very poor condition. We need to solve problems, we have the Russian Cup final ahead and we need to understand ourselves.

– Probably, you expected that Nikolay Balashov would more often participate in the attacks. Did Sibiryak surprise you by the chosen tactics for the game?
– Not to say that surprised. Thanks a lot to the team, they played futsal, played four by four, played well and with great desire. They did a good job while we didn’t. “
